Number Of Ingredients 7

4 pounds assorted heirloom tomatoes (preferably a mix of colors), cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2/3 cup best-quality extra-virgin olive oil
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2 baguettes, cut in half horizontally
2 garlic cloves, peeled
1 large red onion, quartered and thinly sliced
2 cups fresh basil leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat grill or broiler to high. Combine tomatoes, oil, 1 tablespoon salt, and pepper to taste in a large bowl.
